Usually developers only have trouble getting their iPhone apps on to the App Store through Apple’s less than clear submission process. But one game made it on to the App Store and then got taken down without warning due to a trademark dispute last month.

That game was the popular EDGE from two-man developer Mobigames and the dispute was with Tim Langdell who owns the worldwide trademark for the word “Edge”. Talks and negotiations ensued and now we are happy to report that the game is back up on the App Store for purchase. Unfortunately both parties haven’t revealed exactly what has been agreed.

There is also a lot of confusion as to what actually happened with the game being taken down with a summary of all the events available in a TIGSource post.

Regardless of what happened, this is a reminder to developers everywhere, iPhone or not, that it’s not always smooth sailing even if you have a great product. Patents, trademarks, and people who just want to wave a big stick in your direction may get in the way.
